Here's what I would do: Get a dynamite drummer who can play tasteful percussion, and a bass player. Make sure the 2nd guitar player is a real player who can solo. When you use the arranger function, switch the drummer to a percussion kit. Make sure that the bass player can double on another instrument. That way, you can add a little showmanship and variety of instrumentation. I've taught basic keyboard cords to my bass player, and this works out well.

Then, for duo jobs, use the guitar player.

It's fun to change the line-up and you can price jobs with the right number of players.
